wow...didn't know your wife passed away...my deep condolences...I feel like I knew her because you have talked bout her for years and even shared some of the ups and downs you guys had over the years....you also shared with us her illnesses and her set backs concerning that....
Personal question that you don't have to answer.....you seem to have been hitting the gym really hard lately....and then I was really shocked that you went over to the dark side.....is this sudden activity tied in to your apparent grief?
Yes my wife passed away at home on June 1, 2015. She was on home hospice for about three weeks, following her decision to stop dialysis. Those three weeks were really rough on all of us. We wanted to honor her wishes. Doing so was very difficult.
If the dark side means the gay side, then I have not gone there. I'm a homebody mostly. I am not looking to be the oldest clown out cruising the bars, whether it's for men or women. I am not interested in or ready for a romantic/sexual relationship with anyone. As for the gym, I wouldn't say 3 days a week is really hitting it hard. It is more than I was doing before because I didn't have much time for working out, being my wife's primary caregiver for the past several years. The reason I am going to the gym again is to be as healthy, both mentally and physically, as possible. Working out is a good distraction and it's a lot better than sitting around feeling sorry for myself.
I am very fortunate to have a loving family and loads of friends, in both my offline and online life, all of who continue to be wonderfully supportive.
